Tis’ the Season...

Tis’ the Season to be inside somewhere warm. The power went out for a few hours, the phone went out for a week and we hardly went out at all. There is still a little snow at the front of the house but generally it is just cold now. No outside work is getting done but some modelling has occurred. 

 

Christmas will be on us soon and the New Year will follow. We saw the first signs of snowdrops today so Spring will surely come.  Wonderful sunset this evening. 

 

Snow!

“Euston, we have a problem!” (Sorry, railway modellers joke) Snow! All around us. About 8”in parts of the garden. But, to catch up.  We went to the village Christmas dinner. 

We went to a Quaker lunch in Brecon.

We had a little bit of snow.

And then we had a lot of snow. On Sunday the power was off for four hours and we are still without our phone. 

 

And some progress on the Station Master’s house. 

Catching up.

It has been an odd few days. The weather has not been good but i have mainly been indoors. Lots of Quaker work going in at the moment.  But i did get some work done on the wood shed, covering the joints between panels and fitting a corrugated iron skirt to stop rabbits etc tunneling in. 

 

I have volunteered to help with a local Nativty activity which is taking place on Twelth Night. It is based at Capel Gosen which sits directly under the Cynghordy viaduct. 

And talking of railways. I have been working on the first building for the Aussie layout. This is the real building and the model so far.
